The Nelrod Liteflash was launched by G H Williamson, and marketed by Dawe Instruments. In 1950 the British Journal Photographic Almanac stated that the camera had been ‘designed by a press photographer for a press photographer, and it certainly incorporates a surprising number of special features that must gladden the heart of any number of that brotherhood'.

The Nelrod is a rigid press camera for plates or filmpack with a built-in electronic flash unit, the camera is typical of the sort used by press photographers of the period.
